Decoding Dyslexia is a network of parent-led grassroots movements across the country concerned with the limited access to educational interventions for dyslexia within the public education system. We aim to raise dyslexia awareness, empower families to support their children and inform policy-makers on best practices to identify, remediate and support students with dyslexia.

We are advocating for the following policy goals:

• A universal definition and understanding of “dyslexia” in the

state education code• Mandatory teacher training on dyslexia, its warning signs and

by both general and special education populations• Access to appropriate “assistive technologies” in the public

school setting for students with dyslexia

Each state organizes and inspires its own local movement by networking with families and professionals to gain support for the Decoding Dyslexia mission. We recognize the power of the collective parent voice and work diligently to encourage individuals and organizations to partner and collaborate in the best interest of supporting families and advancing services for dyslexics.
